MJ365 is on a distinguished road

Mine started quicker with the original strategy too. It also had a noticable bark when it lit off, not the lazy sounding ignition is has now. When mine was new it would smoke the tires like nothing and pulled my car trailer like it wasn't even there. Now its okay on flat ground but you get into a hill and if I'm not going 70mph it won't hold OD locked up because I have the accel pedal halfway to the floor or more when just starting to climb. I could go over the same hill in OD lockup at 55-60mph before and it just took a little extra pedal to go up. I lost 2 mpg towing the same route with the crappy ford flashes as well. I don't drive it to work half as much as I did because of the lazy way it always feels.

Also, mine always started mint unplugged even down to 0*F with 15w-40 syn oil in it so I didn't even need the the IH crap.

All I want is the truck that I paid for, nothing more. Well maybe I'll have to get some kind of upgrade well I'm at it. If I don't get any pricing info by Monday afternoon I guess I'll just give a call to you folks to find out. As soon as I get my turbo hardware kit I want to send the modules in while I have it apart. Thanks for any help.
